Teaching Children to Use New Syntax • By exposing the children to a variety of writing styles and different phrases early on, the children will gain a strong base in English reading and writing later • To encourage the children, participants can use a reward system such as stickers • Lesson Plan • Provide a list of new phrases to the children (go around the house, behind the hospital, running into the wind, feeling the rain) • Ask the children to draw pictures representing the new phrases • Ask them to demonstrate the action (for example if a chair were the hospital, the children would run behind it)
